From 1970 to 1977 he was a college drop-out writing songs and playing folk music, blues, old country, and original songs in bars and coffee houses from Maine to Dillon, Colorado, (with and without The Ragwagon Band). In 1975 he recorded his first album on vinyl for Fretless Records (a subsidiary of Philo Records). From 1981 to 1989 he returned to university to finish his medical degree, and he practiced medicine in Honolulu, Hawaii from 1991 to 2008. In March of 1998 he started writing songs again after over 20 year hiatus.
